About This Brand

One of the world's best-known brands of high-performance womens and mens shoes. Whatever the style, every pair of our shoes begins with an understanding of the human foot's functionality and of the particular demands of a sport or activity, which dictate how the company designs and builds the shoes. The goal is shoes that work with the foot to help the wearer achieve the ultimate in performance and comfort. The company had its start and takes its name from its founder, the great German shoemaker Adi Dassler, who started it in 1948. Now recognized around the world for its name, always spelled in lower-case letters, and its logo of three slanting parallel stripes, Adidas is synonymous with quality, not just in shoes but also in the clothing and fashion accessories now also sold under the brand.
